Starting in October, every third Thursday, Dodidium, in collaboration with ATEAM Shoe Shop, will be throwing a series of events showcasing local and international talent from music to fine arts, with an emphasis on fashion forward thinking.

Dodidium: A free underground net label based out of the South Bay, focusing on innovative and experimental music. Dodidium serves as a platform for artists to get their work heard, free of charge, in a world of digital consumerism.

Dodidium in collaboration with ROMP (the Range Of Motion Project), will be hosting a fundraiser on Tuesday July 6th, 2010 at Harvelle’s in Santa Monica. ROMP raises awareness for people with dissabilities, and outfits children who would otherwise not have access to, prosthetic and orthotic braces. There will be a group of cyclists riding 3,500 miles from Oregon to Guatemala to raise money for ROMP, stopping in key cities such as LA, to have events and spread the word; which is where Dodidium comes into the picture. There will be a $10 suggested donation at the door, but any donations will be accepted. The doors open at 7PM, so be there before 8 to catch the full show. Oh yea, the Sourgrass band will be rocking the house as well as, the one and only, Scarub of the Living Legends… Don’t Miss Out People!!!

After three years of ripening, we’re releasing the music video ‘It Seems Fakin Takes You Over’ from my solo album Minstrel Music, released in 2006. Another collaboration with Jordan Tarrant, in a similar style to the music video we released, ‘Nuttin But Ciggy Smokin’ in 2006. Hope you all enjoy this little bit of history we’ve released from the vaults…

After a long hiatus we are back in the studio, relaunching with The Unfinished New Edition EP. Experiments with hard breaks, bass, lyrics, and the drive to push ourselves further as musicians were the primary focus for this one. This whole release revolves around a song we had made in early 2008, entitled How The Fuck Did We Get Here?. A darker tune in a style that was alot different than any tunes we had made before. Anyways, we had a shitload of fun making this and hope you enjoy. Coming up we have another Gluttonius Ep and How The Fuck Did We Get Here? remixes. Photo is by Scott Hankinson.

The limited edition release of The Unfinished New Edition (T.U.N.E.) is on November 28th, and with less than a week before the show, it’s crunchtime for Coyopa and I. We are in the final stages of mixing and mastering the five tracks that will encompass the T.U.N.E. project, reaching completion with each edit, tweak, and added effect. We will be giving out 50 rare, hand numbered copies of the project along with a rare high quality vinyl sticker bearing the Dodidium logo. Come out and support Underground music at Suzy’s, 1141 Prospect, Hermosa Beach, on November 28th and get a couple free CD’s. If you can’t make it, it will be available to download on this very site one week following the show on December 5th. Cop a copy as soon as you can!

The recording sessions for The Unfinished New Edition have been coming along great. We have four of the five songs recorded, and they’re coming out to be some of the best work Coyopa and I have done together, up to this point. The themes of TUNE are similar to the other material Coyopa and I have released, such as anti-establishment social awareness, but what I’m focused on with my writing is stemmed from the inspiration of the break-beat style drums Coyopa has dilligently crafted. I therefore try to achieve a percussiveness extended from the instrumental, while retaining melodic rhyme schemes, interwoven into the beat like ill maintained ivy onto majestic wrought iron. The recordings will be done in two weeks, then editing, mixing and mastering, up until the day of the limited edition release on November 28 at Suzy’s for S2’s anticipated Infinite Increments record release party. The album will be available to download for free on dodidium.wordpress.com the following week on December 5, but if you’re in the neighborhood, come by and get a copy of S2’s Infinite Increments and one of the rare hand made fifty copies of the TUNE EPavailable only on this night!

About Dodidium.

Dodidium was originally concieved in 2003 by Gluttonius Monk & Coyopa. It was a name that we used to catalouge the music we were giving out at the time. There will also be a jungle subdivision in the near future.
